RPA Is Here: Now What?
Sunday, July 17, 2022, 1:00-5:00PM CDT
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is changing the nature of work. And that means internal audit faces a future where the processes around it are changing – those that are reviewed, as well as those used by the department. The good news is that internal audit is uniquely positioned and suited to benefit from this disruption, creating significant value for its clients. How your department benefits will depend on the strategy and direction you set now.
